Digital PVR's rule

[Kraig]

I have a crazy schedule and so this has come in sooo handy. I literally set it and forget it.

It records any show I want - and I can select new episodes only. Then when it comes time to watch it, I fast forward through all the lame commercials.

Yay!

[Gusto]

And yeah -- I'm with Shaw. This was literally plug and play.

how much more is your cable package?
the only reason I would want that box, is for the pvr capabilities, I don't care for the whole digital cable.

[Kraig]

Avana -- the convienence of Digital cable is worth it. And I can't remember the plan we have actually -- I signed up for it so long ago.

The PVR is fucking dope. I can record a program and then watch another at the same time. I can even pause the program I'm watching while another is recording. OR, record 2 programs at the same time. Pretty insane.

[Kraig]

PS: the unit is fully HDTV capable. HDMI, etc... wicked shit.

[FeelGood]

i love my pvr.

I am just being cheap, cause you have to pay for the pvr, then the plan. Which is why I want a TIVO, so that it works with any cable.

YEAH BUT ONLY YOUR STANDARD DEF CHANNELS, ONLY YOUR NON DIGITAL CHANNELS. ITS A SHITTY IDEA.



I GOT THAT SAME BOX KRAIG I FEEL YOU
BASICALLY LETS ME HAVE A TV NIGHT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK TO WATCH ALL MY SHOWS

UNCOMPLICATES THURSDAY NIGHTS

[Kraig]

^^ Totally hear you on the Thursday's. And on the once or twice a week thing.

[ppcock]

yeah, the 6412's are bags of ass, that's why motorolla released the 16's, also included a bigger HD.
the only issue i find with HDMI is setting up a reciever, i'd rather use component to the tv and optical spdif.
component (to me) gives a better picture.

[CharlieTuna]

Fucking love mine, let's me watch English Premier League football without getting up at 4am on a Saturday morning.

Adding the HD channels to our already existing digital package was like another $10, making it $60something a month. We bought the box though, so we don't pay any additional rental fees. If you rent the normal PVR it's an additional $12/month, and the HD PVR is $22/month

[decypher]

The recorder and HD box costs like 700 dollars, yikes.

nah man HDMI or DIE!...lol.

pure,uncompressed one's and zero's....

marty, do you know wich HDMI version the moto box uses?c i cant seem to find any info on it.

[ppcock]

any hdmi?

[rustybob]

I got the same PVR. I was considering the non-PVR box, but changed my mind at the last minute. I didn't think I'd use the PVR that much, but it's definitely a feature I use all the time. Although it ain't cheap to buy, it was worth the $700.
